FAQs

The dress is made from 100% Polyester, featuring a jacquard weave for its unique texture and floral pattern.

While elegant, this dress is primarily designed for daywear and semi-casual to smart-casual events. For highly formal occasions, you might opt for a different style.

Does the dress have pockets?

Yes, it features convenient side pockets, adding practicality without compromising its elegant design.

What is the best way to style this midi dress?

Can I wear this dress in cooler weather?

Yes, you can layer it with a cardigan, denim jacket, or a light blazer for added warmth. Tights or leggings can also be worn underneath for cooler temperatures.

Troubleshooting

Dress appears wrinkled after washing.

Steam the dress gently or iron on a very low heat setting, using a pressing cloth over the jacquard fabric to protect the pattern.

Fabric feels less soft or looks dull.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and washing in cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive heat during washing and drying, which can affect synthetic fibers.

Dress feels too static clingy.

Use a fabric softener during washing or a static-reducing spray before wearing. Hanging it in a high-humidity environment for a short period can also help.

Puff sleeves seem to lose their shape.

After washing, gently reshape the sleeves while damp and let them air dry. Avoid crushing them during storage.

  1. Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle with cold water. Use a mild detergent.
  2. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Lay flat to dry or hang on a padded hanger to prevent stretching and maintain the fabric's shape.
  3. Ironing: If needed, iron on a low heat setting, preferably inside out or with a pressing cloth, to protect the jacquard pattern.

  5. Avoid: Do not bleach or use harsh chemicals, as these can damage the delicate fibers and pattern.
